FAQ(11) - Mouse support under Microsoft windows is strange !!Mouse support under Microsoft windows is strange !!
The mouse operation under Microsoft windows (and DOS) is biased towards a 3-button mouse operation (Logitech is ideal !!), operating in a similar way to UNIX. i.e. <select> operation gets text <Middle button> yanks text back.
This stems from the fact that we all came from UNIX backgrounds. We have had a number of comments about this already and do plan to address this issue.
Note: Those of you that have already had a little dip into the operation of the mouse will have probably worked out that the whole of the visible mouse/screen interaction is driven through macros, so this functionality is actually a macro change.
